Tyler for Royce White

Seems simple. That bridge is burned or at least on fire already, so if Indiana felt like they could better accommodate White's needs (maybe, maybe not, but let's assume for the moment yes), then why not move on from Tyler now since it's unlikely we're interested in re-signing him, and let Houston give him a brief look before deciding for themselves if they might want him back?

Re: Tyler for Royce White

even if losing THans is not a big loss, this trade would would require throwing out a 1.5 year's worth of rookie salary--White can't even play in the D-League right now. White's situation is a lot worse that it seemed at the time of the draft.

Re: Tyler for Royce White

I wouldn't trade anyone for him, not even DJ Augustin or Pendergraph. If he's cut, I wouldn't pick him up off waivers. If there was a poll asking who I'd hate to trade for more, White or Metta World Peace, I'd click on White. At least Metta isn't spending his time doing interviews about how the Pacers are to blame for everything that happened with him and how everyone around him is an uneducated hick.

I don't think he would change here. Why would he? Our good leaders in the locker room? He avoids the locker room. A new, better doctor? He doesn't want a new doctor, he wants to be "treated" by his old general family doctor in Minnesota by phone, and that doctor apparently says whatever he wants to hear. Also, White's contract option for the 3rd year has to be picked up until October 31st of this year. Way too little time in a situation like this. If we don't pick it up, he'll likely just quit on the team completely and go on a bunch of TV shows to talk about how the Pacers aren't sensitive towards people with mental disorders. I don't think he's nearly good enough to be worth the PR disaster and distractions.

I just hate that situation all around, and I feel sorry for the Rockets. They don't deserve all that nonsense. But I'm glad it's not the Pacers. To be honest, I was hoping that White, Sullinger or PJ3, one of the 'red flag' guys, would drop to the Pacers in the draft and we'd take him. What a relief that White didn't drop.

Re: Tyler for Royce White

Seriously? This is a joke. Some of you need to catch up on some NBA sports news. Need I say more? Plus whats with people on here wanting to get rid/trade Tyler? Esp for a guy who doesn't like to fly, rejects his own teams request. Get real.
